ENGLISH SPEAKING NATION?
by xyz abcs on Aug 21, 2007 03:17 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

i dont think anyone in the BJP knows english. what the guy said was

"So why do you have all this running around like headless chickens, looking for a comment here or comment there, and these little storms in a tea-cup"

Now, that obviously could NOT have been directed at the MPs cuz they are not running around looking for comments. the journalists are running around for comments, so this was obviously directed at the journalists.

And yet another day has been wasted at our parliament cuz some MPs dont know english.

Addendum: The common man on the streets of Indian cities do give us an impression of chicken without heads. So it will be a valid explanation.

Well said xyz. But the trouble is that now the journalists will ask for his recall! Better for him to clarify that it was directed at the common man on the street.

Knowing english is not as important for running govt. as important as thinking is. I dont think a day was wasted not because of English but because of not thinking in the right way.

Hey chinki, its not about knowing engligh, its about understanding. If they can't understand such simple thing, then you should take them to china, along with you.
